Parenting changes what you need from a nightlight every couple of years. Night Light X covers all of it — newborn night feeds, toddler bedtimes, preschooler monster patrols, the school years when bedtime stories still get requested. One app, all of it.
The parenting-years toolkit
Most parents end up with a graveyard of single-purpose baby gear — a nightlight that did one thing, a sound machine that did another, a bedtime story app that you cancelled after a year. Night Light X is built to grow with your kid through every phase without you having to swap products.
Newborn (0–3 months)
Amber or red light at low brightness, womb sounds, and the sleep timer. See our babies guide for the full setup.
Infant (3–12 months)
Transition from womb sounds to white noise. Keep amber light as the nursery default. Sleep timer becomes essential as nights start (mostly) stretching.
Toddler (1–3 years)
Color preferences emerge — pink, purple, and warm white often top the list. AI bedtime stories become the killer feature; pick a theme, settle a toddler. See the toddler bedrooms guide.
Preschool & grade school (3–8 years)
Independence at bedtime. Older kids can pick their own color, story, and timer. The photo slideshow widget becomes a sweet way to display family memories in their room.
Tweens (8+)
Bedtime stories give way to guided meditations as kids start managing their own wind-down. Brown noise and rain become quiet study aids, too.
For parents themselves: Don't forget the app works for you too. AI meditations on tough nights, a sleep timer on your own bedside, and brown noise to mask the kids who somehow still aren't asleep.
Family travel
The portable routine matters more for families than for anyone else. Whether it's a road trip, a hotel, or camping, Night Light X means your kid's bedtime ritual goes with you instead of falling apart at the destination.
One app for every kid age.
Free on the App Store. Optional in-app purchases.
